Lips Lips Lips *PRIZE*
January 14, 2015
Nothing is more girly than lip gloss and lipstick. We feel sweet in a pale pink lip gloss and powerful in a bright red lipstick. There are so many colors, and formulas to choose from and to know what you look best in you have to try many.
How to Pick the Right Red Lipstick
The one rule I feel needs to be followed is that you pick only one facial feature to highlight. So either you have bright bold lips and minimal eye makeup or daring eye make-up and a pale or nude lip.
Bold Lip Looks
Daring Eyes
Why? Because you want others to focus on just one part of your face. Check out the picture of Emma Stone above. Emma’s eyes are breathtaking and they look like pale Jade. If she had some bright neon pink lipstick on as well as her dramatic eye make up it would be a competition between her lips and eyes. So pick what feature you want to highlight today, and smile, because you are beautiful!
When you look for a new lip color some things to consider besides your skin tone is; is this lip color for a special occasion, does it need to be long wearing, what will you be wearing, etc. All these questions will shape your decision. You don’t normally wear heavy lipstick to the beach, and on a special night out you might want something more than a sheer lip gloss. So think about what you will use it for.
Go to stores like Ulta, Sephora, and the mall where you can try on colors. The beauty advisors have experience and help you find what fits you. Trying is free and if you don’t want to spend $$$ but would rather spend $ then write down the brand, name, and number of the color and search for a “DUPE” in other words a “dupe”licate in a less expensive brand online. There are all kinds of reviews and videos out there now that can take some of guess work out of the equation.
*One Honorable mention inexpensive lip gloss is Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Shock. It looks intense in the tube but it’s a great color and these little inexpensive tubes can be found anywhere. I bought one at Target and the other at a local grocery store on sale. They are very moisturizing and have a ton of shades to choose from. I love this color because even when the gloss wears off it leaves a little of the bright pink color behind to stain my lips.
